I am setting up a web server in my home. I have cable internet, the IP address changes, so I need to use dyndns.org.
My linux box is debian. I am now at the last part of the dyndns.org ddclient installation.
The ddclient README says:
INSTALLATION: cp ddclient /usr/sbin/ mkdir /etc/ddclient cp sample-etc_ddclient.conf /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf vi /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf -- and change hostnames, logins, and passwords appropriately ## For those using Redhat style rc files and using daemon-mode: cp sample-etc_rc.d_init.d_ddclient /etc/rc.d/init.d/ddclient ## enable automatic startup when booting /sbin/chkconfig --add ddclient ## start the first time by hand /etc/rc.d/init.d/ddclient start ## If you are not using daemon-mode, configure cron and dhcp or ppp ## as described below.
The problem is the line: cp sample-etc_rc.d_init.d_ddclient /etc/rc.d/init.d/ddclient
Debian tells me: "Cannot create regular file /etc/rc.d/init.d/ddclient"
Why is that? It is correct that /etc/rc.d/ does not exist. What do I do?
Secondly, the install directory has these files:
sample-etc_rc.d_init.d_ddclient sample-etc_rc.d_init.d_ddclient.redhat sample-etc_rc.d_init.d_ddclient.ubuntu
Maybe I should be using the ubuntu file since that is my operating system?
Thanks
